Is 888 under- or over-valued?
Valuing 888 stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of 888's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
888's P/E ratio
888's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, 888 shares trade at around 17x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
However, 888's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the gambling industry or those of similar companies.
888's EBITDA
888's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £92.7 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a 888's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put 888's EBITDA into context you can compare it against that of similar companies.

888 share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 33.24% of net profits
Recently 888 has paid out, on average, around 33.24% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.58% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), 888 shareholders could enjoy a 1.58% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In 888's case, that would currently equate to about 0.05p per share.
While 888's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that 888 may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 October 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").
888's dividend payout ratio is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
- Entain (GVC.LSE): 0.00% (does not pay dividend)
- N/A (WHM.LSE): 0.00% (does not pay dividend)
888 share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, 888's shares have ranged in value from as little as 66.5651p up to 325p. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (LSE average) beta is 1, while 888's is 0.6476. This would suggest that 888's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
To put 888's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
